Bye Baby Bunting (Rhyme) - English Children's Songs - England - Mama Lisa's World: Children's Songs and Rhymes from Around the World - Intro Image

Notes

Patricia Hucker wrote: "I learned this (slightly different) version..."

Bye baby bunting
Daddy's gone a hunting.
Mother's gone a milking,
Sister's gone a silking.
Brother's gone to buy a skin,
To wrap this baby bunting in.
